more time for GCSE pupils and students taking exams due to the covid-19 pandemic
i would like the government to allow more time for students to study and revise due to the fact that they do not get any face-to-face time with their teachers due to the pandemic, and these tests are very crucial to insuring they get the grades that they deserve.
because if the students don’t get as much time as they need to study/revise then their grade may not be a true representation of what they could accomplish. not all children have access to the internet and because of that they may not be able to do the work that teachers set them at home.
